Song Lyrics

I ain't got anything to lose
'Cause I lost everything to you
I ain't got no lover of mine to hold my hand
When the moon is above the hills
And the meadow is wet with dew
You will take that lover of mine into your arms

Don't go breaking my heart
I'm only trying to warn you
That heart of yours will be torn too
I'm not lying

I'm a girl with shiny eyes
A little devil in disguise
I will take that brother of yours into my arms
Where the river is flowing by
And the dewy grass is high
He will feel the sweet thrill of the night

Oh don't go breaking my heart
I'm only trying to warn you
That heart of yours will be torn too
I'm not lying
If you go breaking my heart
I will be crying my eyes out
But soon you'll be crying just as loud
Now look who's laughing

You have taken my man from me
So now I'm taking one from you
I will hold that brother of yours close to heart
When he's fallen in love with me
I shall leave him and then he'll be
Floating in the river one night
Cold and pale

So don't go breaking my heart
I'm only trying to warn you
That heart of yours will be torn too
I'm not lying
If you go breaking my heart
I will be crying my eyes out
But soon you'll be crying just as loud
Now look who's laughing

Don't break my heart
